Music in the Park!

Wednesday July 16, 2025

At the Logan Park Pavilion, 690 13th Ave NE

Music starts at 7pm

Featuring the Logan Park based band “Funk N Spuds” !

Mark your calendars for a perfect summer evening! LPNA is thrilled to announce free music in the park on Wednesday, July 16th, at 7:00 pm at Logan Park (690 13th Ave NE).

The Pavilion will be alive with music featuring the local Logan Park band “Funk N Spuds”! We’ll supply the popcorn, so just grab your favorite blanket or chair, bring your beverage of choice, and get ready to enjoy a summer night with neighbors. 

Please note: This community music event will be held in lieu of our usual July General Meeting.

About the band: Funk N Spuds is a rock band who describes themselves as raw, jazzy, melodic, and uplifting. The band got its name because they believe their music, like a potato, is versatile, comforting, and perfect for any occasion – whether you’re dancing, chilling, or just savoring life’s moments! Comprised of seasoned musicians from around the Midwest and centered around the Meier Brothers, Funk N Spuds’ unique sound is an alchemy of groovy bass lines, electrifying guitar riffs, funky flugelhorn, and some of the best darn drumming you’ll hear in the Twin Cities.

For more information on the band, visit their website: funknspuds.com.  We can’t wait to see you there!

Logan Park Industrial Project Update

Open House (Tyler, Jackson, Van Buren, 12th Ave, 13th Ave, 14th Ave)
Hosted by the City of Minneapolis
Wednesday February 19, 2025 4:30-6:30pm at NE Recreation Center (1530 Johnson)

Project website

The design process for Quincy Street has been extended to provide time for additional engagement and to explore design options. The City is exploring the use of non-standard features to meet the unique needs, uses, and context of the roadway. A separate meeting for Quincy Street designs will be scheduled in the future.

What does this mean for the project?

The six other streets in the project area will be moving towards concept layout approval by the City Council this spring as originally planned. There will be future engagement opportunities with different ideas for Quincy at a future date, so we encourage those with an interest in Quincy to join our project email list to learn about these meetings. While some of the other six streets may start construction in 2026, Quincy would not start before 2027.

Invitation to open house Feb 19.
